And we finally saw the Sun....

Yes, the huge score of "Seht die Sonne" behaved well, both logistically and musically. What a great piece it is. It´s my favourite among Magnus Lindberg´s works along with the Clarinet and the Violin Concertos. Orchestra enjoyed playing it a lot and that´s mostly because of Magnus´musicianship. This is what good composing consists of: vision and technique. Good luck and strength to Magnus with the NY Phil!

Topi Lehtipuu sung a fine "Poeme de l`Amour et de la Mer" and once again Wagner and Chausson proved to be a good combination. Just that the orchestration of the original Tannhäuser Overture is a bit clumsy. Why didn´t he compose the whole beginning again for the performances in Paris?
